Umm.. hmm.. Should I?

Do you guys think That $230 for a Gigabyte 945p DS3 and 2GB of OCZ pc-6400 is a good deal? It's a deal i've got running and i can't make up my mind! Opinions, please!

 

[StrangleHold]

That a little on the cheap side, the board by itself goes retail for about 140 bucks

I would buy it it looks like a good deal.

 

[PohTayToez]

Are you buying or selling?

 

[hermeslyre]

Buying. And i know it sounds like a good deal, if you search craiglist long enough you can turn up some mighty great bargains.. i've gotten lucky acouple times . im not really going to start my build until the C2d price drop and until either the 8600 or the 2600. So i guess im just worried about it just sitting around and depreciating. Weird, huh?

 

[PohTayToez]

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me... that RAM is like $150 - $200 isn't it?

 

[computerhakk]

Yeah it sounds good. But any catch?

Like used, refurb, open box, etc.? Or the funny, "new but on box" deal.

 

[hermeslyre]

Yes, it's used. But i'm going to check it out at his place to see if everything checks out. And if it shits out on me later on down the road i can only blame myself for buying used...

But i don't believe it will. I've done many deals on craigslist and nothings broke on me. No scam artists or crazies. Yet.

Ok im picking this up tomorrow but i noticed something.. the ram thats coming with it has a stock voltage of 1.9-2.1. I've heard the DS3 reverts ram voltages to 1.8. This isn't going to hurt it's performance/overclockability too much, right?

Edit: oh and i meant to say 965p not 945p. Is there a difference between the two models?
